Interesting perspective.
"The rush to vilify and eliminate the comment section ignored, as Ben notes, that a subscription to news outlets doesn’t just have to provide access to journalism, it can feature participation in journalism."

Two #goodhabits for the #newyear that are surprisingly easy to do and are already #makingadifference:
- muting (large) accounts in the #trending section that are doing various forms of clickbait, because even in the #fediverse #ragebaiting #cutevideos #AIslop (AI slop with a leftist slant still is AI slop) are rife.
- ignoring #comments from people who keep missing the point willfully or from sheer ignorance. My time is sacred.

I really wish #PeerTube had a way to directly message accounts from within PeerTube. As an admin, it’s kind of ridiculous to have to manually look up someone’s account and email them, instead of having that functionality built-in to the system.
Like, if somebody reports something, I should be able to reach out to the person the report is filed against, no? But, it doesn’t exist as a consideration in the moderation UI.
Edit - I Opened an issue here: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/7362
@deadsuperhero yeah, that is a serious fault for #PeerTube, cuz whilst I can understand they'd not do #comments on videos (cuz that may be deemed legal hot water in some juristictions) moderation comms should be definitely included, cuz #YouTube basucally had that from the beginning!
